Over 1.5k Russian people and entities have been sanctioned by the UK over its illegal invasion of Ukraine. A year on, are they actually working? And could there be more to come? Mark Harrison is Emeritus Professor of Economics at the University of Warwick. He joins Alex Andreou in The Bunker.
- “Historically the difficulty of sanctions has been that the prediction of the impact of them are always overestimated.” – Mark Harrison.
- “Sanctions can do very little on their own, except push Russia towards more adventurism.” – Mark Harrison.
- “Russia will find workarounds, but we have to work to make that as costly as possible.” – Mark Harrison.
